Everwood Season 3 Episode 16 A Moment in Manhattan
"You can argue it's better to be neglected by fate than well attended.
When it marks you for favour, you can bet you're life will change - rarely for the better, though always deeper. The most costly casualty is always the heart. Nothing hurts so much as that. Like sacrificing your queen, you can still play. Only you cant help feel that the game is already lost.
Though strangely, cruelly, a distraught heart keeps beating, no matter how much you wish it would stop. So you take another breath, another step, and you wake again to the unsympathetic sun. You go through the motions pretending, for all the world, to be a warm blooded creature.
The doctor and I both knew a lot about that. We both came a long ways only to find that purpose doesn't last, and regret can burn a hole through any happiness. And just then when you think that fate is done kicking you around, and maybe it's time to hope again, that's when the real surprises come."
